Our Insiders' Article

Intro

KONG is not just another restaurant with a nice view… It’s more than that and that is the reason why it was selected by the producers of Sex and the City as the restaurant where the stars have a romantic dinner in the last episode. Laurent Taïeb, a famous restaurant owner, opened the KONG in May 26th 2003 and in 10 years, it has become one of the places to be in Paris. This comes as no surprise when surrounded by a top notch cast: Philippe Starck for the design, Richard Pommiès for the food, Beatrice Ardisson for the musical ambiance and Ara Starck for the illustrations and paintings.

Food

Although Richard Pommiès admits that the ambitious KONG project was quite risky, he accepted the challenge since day one. After having worked with many starred chefs in France and having the opportunity to discover new gastronomical cultures while travelling (Singapore, New York, London etc…), Pommiès had the challengeto combine French and Japanese cuisine since Japanese fashion brand Kenzo was in the building. This is how best sellers like the Udon Noodles with Black Truffles (€36) or the Udon Noodles with Lobster (€39) were born.

Ambiance

The best way to describe the KONG’s ambiance would be to take a closer look at resident DJ Béatrice Ardisson and her acute sense of finding the new, snappy and trendy tunes. Without the faintest doubt, they enlighten both Parisians and the international clients every night. She has created an extensive musical playlist that perfectly matches the concept of KONG, therefore giving it the intimate ambiance of a trendy cocktail club and the elegance and refinement of a 5 star hotel restaurant. A perfect combination of elegance and laid back, all in a very trendy setting.

Decor

Knowing that French interior decorator extraordinaire Philippe Starck designed the KONG already sets the tone. A trendy and modern feel, backed up by the creations and illustrations of Ara Starck who has based her work on the theme of transmission and sharing. But what truly makes the KONG a wonderful spot is the view. Located on the 5th floor of a typical Parisian building, the KONG offers 3 different views: the Seine River and the Pont Neuf (the oldest bridge in Paris) in front, the Art Deco and Art Nouveau decorations of the Samaritaine on the west, and the beautiful Louis Vuitton head office building on the east.

Conclusion

The KONG is the perfect place to be for a get together with friends, but it also has the power to turn into the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. The strength of the KONG also lies in the fact that it becomes a real nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights starting 11 pm. Delicious cocktails, which can also be ordered at the bar any time between 6PM and 2AM every day, are served during these weekend parties in a venue that is casual but not shabby yet classy but not snobby.
